Man kills wife, covers body in peanut butter hoping animals will eat it

William Walsh, 29 of New York has admitted to killing his wife Leah after an argument over cheating and a rather unique strategy to destroying the evidence.

In a fit of rage he strangled her and left her body in a ditch.

William who lived in the city assumed that animals like peanut butter like everyone else.

He smeared the tasty confection all over his dead wife’s body hoping animals would devour the body and destroy any evidence left behind.

After her dissapearance he made public pleas for her safe return claiming she had been kidnapped.

The 29-year-old teacher’s body was found by a country club employee three days later.

Leah had appeared on the Howard Stern show in 1999 and lamented her bad luck with men.

Howard Stern remembers her appearance and was quoted as saying, “It’s really weird. … She said, ‘I never have luck with men,’

William’s mistress a 24-year-old waitress admitted to having an affair with Walsh a year earlier but denies any knowledge in the killing.
